Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A man we passed just tried to stare me down
And when I looked at you
You looked at the ground
[Verse 2]
I don't know who he is
But I think that you do
Dad-gummit
Who is he, and what is he to you?
[Verse 3]
Ah-ha, something in my heart and in your eyes
Tells me he's not someone just passing by
Ah, and when you cleared your throat
Was that your cue?
Dad-gummit
Who is he, and what is he to you?
[Verse 4]
Ah, now when I add the sum of you and me
I get confused and I keep coming up with three
You're too much for one man
But not enough for two
Dad-gummit
Who is he, and what is he to you?
[Verse 5]
Well, you tell me men don't have much intuition
Is that what you really thinkin', girl or are you wishin'?
Before you wreck your old home and search another new
Dad-gummit
Who is he, and what is he to you?
[Verse 6]
Dad-gummit
Who is he, and what is he to you?
Dad-gummit
Who is he, and what is he to you?
Dad-gummit
Who is he, and what is he to you?
